Is dean from supernatural gay
Supernatural: “Despair” is Definitely NOT Gay!!
Welcome back to our weekly coverage of the final season of Supernatural in our series Supernatural: End of the Road. You can read a review of the entire season up to episode 13 here, and study individual reviews of “Last Holiday,” “Gimme Shelter,” “Drag Me Away (From You),” and “Unity,” as well.
Strap in, my friends. This is gonna be a long one.
As I’m sure you know, this past episode, “Despair”, included what appeared at first to be a fulfillment of our greatest hopes and dreams – Destiel established on screen. And I must admit that I, too, was initially joyful at what I saw. However, the internet instantly realized this was not exactly what happened. While I am a enormous Destiel shipper, I am highly disappointed with “Despair.” This review will consist of a detailed analysis of Cas’s final scene and Dean’s reaction. But first, let’s recap the episode.
“Despair” opens exactly where “Unity” left off, but rapidly fixes the Jack-is-a-bomb issue with some convenient magic and lawyer-like wording. Billie appears and POOFS! Jack to the Empty, where he can explode in peace. According to Billie, Jack was never in danger of dying fr
Gay characters on SUPERNATURAL? And some thoughts on the show post-S3
Hi all, I have started to become back into this reveal after giving up on it in Season 4--I found the mythology as it developed too cumbersome. Personally, while I really like consistency and nature building, I also really like stand-alone episodes. For example, I also much prefer the first limited seasons of Smallville to the later years.
Anyway, I am enjoying watching S3 properly, which Ive always heard mixed reports on, due to the writers' strike at the time. But I detect the ongoing tension about Dean's inevitable death and descent into Hell a compelling hook for the whole season, and overall the stories are lovely good, though "Jus in Bello," despite its appealing homage to Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13, was quite flat.
Anyway, "Ghostfacers" was appealing to me for having a queer character who was also heroized in the narrative as a daring and winning member of the admittedly crackpot team. (Do we see them again?)
I am wondering--are there other gay characters who come up before or after on the show?
In Media Res
Supernatural appeals to audiences from diverse sexual identities and orientations. While the main protagonists, Sam and Dean Winchester, are portrayed as primarily heterosexual men (in spite of various efforts to rewrite them as queer through fan fiction), other human characters are explicitly labeled as queer or lesbian. Some of the most interesting representations in terms of sexuality are found among angels and demons who, as supernatural beings, are not gendered and can inhabit both male and female bodies. The centrality of supernatural beings, who are inherently non-normative, appeals to polysemic readings of sexuality.
The most developed of these characters is the undeniably queer angel, Castiel. Castiel inhabits a male body, but flashbacks reveal that the angel once inhabited a female body. Raphael, Hannah and Michael are also shown inhabiting both female and male bodies, solidifying the notion that angels include no distinct sex. Angels are typically depicted as incapable of, or unwilling to, fall in love. The rare exceptions all lead to tragic endings and portray falling in love as transgressive.

Queer and Gender Diverse Characters
This entry documents characters of gender and sexual diversity, and its portrayal on Supernatural.
Charlie Bradbury a lesbian geek girl who becomes a hunter, is the only queer ethics to appear in multiple episodes, along with Crowley whose sexuality is probably best described as "complicated." God aka Chuck Shurley was revealed to be bisexual (or possibly pansexual) in 11.20 Don't Dial Me Shurley—"I dated. Yeah, I had some girlfriends. Had a few boyfriends."
There have been, to date, no transgender or non-binary characters. Both angels and demons have been seen to switch between vessels of different gendered appearance, although it is often not known by which gender a vessel's owner identified. For example both of Raphael's vessels may have identified as female, or nonbinary. The intent of the writers appears to be to show angels and demons possessing vessels of diverse genders, although this does involve a rather binary and cis view of gender. In scenes where angels are in vessels of different gender than their original vessels, the show generally doesn't clarify the pronouns to be used. In 6.22 The Man Who Knew Too Much, Crow
